AIR UNIT PRIMS'
Senate Group Won’t Dis
solve Until it Is Satisfied
With Bureau Shift.
The Special Senate Subcommittee
headed by Senator Copeland of New
York, which for nearly two years has
been investigating the Bureau of Air
Commerce and civil aviation, will not
wind up its affairs until it is satisfied
that the reorganized Bureau of Air
Commerce is functioning properly, it
was learned today.
The committee is to be continued
ns an organization possibly for as
long as six months, it was said. While
no further active investigation is con
templated at the present time, it was
said, the members will act as “ob
servers" and will be in a position to
resume investigations or make fur
ther recommendations at any time.
Two Reports Presented.
The Copeland committee has filed
two reports with the Senate. Satur
day night it was revealed in a final
transcript of hearings and printed
briefs prepared by the committee that
committee investigators have been
charged by Assistant Secretary of
Commerce Johnson with "prejudice”
and with attempts to blame an inno
cent man for responsibility for the
accident in which Senator Cutting of
New Mexico was killed.
The first committee report de
manded a shake-up of the Bureau
of Air Commerce. The second rec
ommended the appropriation by Con
gress of $14,500,000 for improvement
of the Federal airways system and
for research work.
In the bureau shake-up resulting
from the resignation on March 1 of
Director of Air Commerce Eugene I
L Vidal, two assistant directors were
removed from their posts, which were
consolidated. Congress as yet has
taken no action on the recommenda
tions made in the second report, made
public last week.
Two Divisions Proposed.
In this report the committee rec
ommended reinstatement of the office
of Assistant Secretary of Commerce
for Aeronautics, which was discon
tinued in 1933. It also advocated divi
sion of the Bureau of Air Commerce
Into two divisions, one dealing with
ground aids and the other with flight
operations, each under leadership of
a division chief.
Senator Copeland has expressed the
opinion that the March 1 reorganiza
tion is a step in the right direction.
Committee members, however, want
to watch developments under the new
set-up before formally disbanding the
special subcommittee, it *as ex
plained.
It is likely that a final report will
ty prepared by the committee cover- j
ing all developments since its report !
cf last week, it was said.

agent, made public the telegram he
said had been sent to the Governor
asking that he demand of U. A. W.
i officials that they command sit-down
| strikers to evacuate all plants held,
Williston said a group of 17 busi
ness men had agreed to underwrite
the cost of a recall movement, which,
he said, would start on April 1 if
the Governor refuses to act. The
three-month tenure required by law'
before a Governor can be recalled
will expire on that date. Approxi
mately 400.000 signatures would be
required on petitions for a recall elec
tion.
City Councilman John C. Lodge, a
former mayor, described as an "out
rage" the union’s application for a
permit to hold a meeting in Cadillac
Square at an hour when traffic was
heaviest.
“It isn’t a request, it’s a demand,”
Lodge said. “I am sure no member of
the council will countenance such a
thing."
The vote to deny the application
was unanimous.
Later. Deputy Police Supt. Louis L.
Berg told Bishop that a mass meeting
in Cadillac Square would be “impos
sible." He suggested Times Square,
which is several blocks removed from
Woodward avenue, the city’s main
thoroughfare, but added that a council
permit would be necessary for any
meeting there.
Another Raid Planned.
There were reports that at least one
other raid on a striker-occupied plant
was planned by police today.
Mayor Frank Couzens declared the
raids would continue on captive plants
where the police had reason to believe
non-employes were among the occu
pants. He expressed dc ibt the work
ers would follow a leadership that
would call a city-wide automotive
strike, and said that a strike of work
ers who were just emerging from the
depression would be “inhuman.”
Nevertheless, handbills V'ere dis
tributed calling upon union members
to "show labor’s strength” in thq
Cadillac Square demonstration tomor
row.
The handbills bore headlines which
said: “Stop police strike-breaking
brutality” and “Protect the right to
strike.”
The U. A. W. also disclosed the or
ganization of "minute men” among
members, along military lines, with the
avowed purpose of “protecting strikers
and the right to strike.”
Union to Take action.
A telegram from U. A. W. officers
to 29 Detroit locals said that “because
of a grave situation created by police
and the mayor in attacking the right
of strikers throughout the city, the
international officers have decided to
take decisive steps.”
The telegram said “a general strike
may be necessary” and instructed local
officers to “appoint special strike com
mittees,” but to “take no strike action
until instructed” by Martin.
Leaders of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization, with which the
U. A. W. is affiliated, were reported to
be ready again to propose a truce be
tween the strikers and the Chrysler
Corp., under the terms of which the
corporation would be asked to agree
in writing not to negotiate with any
bargaining agency other than the U.
A. W. except with the approval of Gov.
Frank Murphy.
Since Wednesday, 6,000 strikers oc
cupying eight Chrysler plants have
been in violation of a court injunc
tion, but Sheriff Wilcox gave no in
dication that he was preparing to at
tempt the service of writs calling for
the arrest of the strikers.
Deputies' Aid Offered.
The Michigan Sheriff's Association,
through Jerome S. Borden of Kala
mazoo, secretary, offered Sheriff Wil
cox the assistance of 1,000 deputies to
eject the Chrysler strikers.
Martin declared in a letter to Gov.
Murphy today that Chrysler officials
were “stalling" in their conferences
with the U. A. W., and that the com
pany’s conferees “went into the con
ferences with strict instructions to say
nothing * but 'No, no, no’ ” to union
proposals for settlement.
He said the negotiations were "farci
cal from the beginning” and that the
company met with the union “only
so it could publicly maintain the posi
tion that it is always willing to meet
with representatives of its employes.”
“Time after time the union has
presented proposals, first to avert the
strike and then to settle it, but on
every occasion the corporation’s answer
has been ‘no,’ ” he said.
“The strike was precipitated be
cause of the corporation’s refusal to
abide by the Wagner law, which gives
sole collective bargaining rights upon !
a majority basis." he continued. "This j
the company consistently refused to
do, despite the fact that its propor
tional representation plan is opposed
to all principles of democracy.
Political Comparison Made.
“If the company's proposal to us
were transferred to the method of
representing the people of Michigan,
you would be the Governor today only
for the 892,774 people who voted for
you last November. In the country, as
a w’hole, Franklin D. Roosevelt would
be President only for the 27,751,612
citizens who voted for him, while his !
opponent. Alfred M. Landon, would j
be President No. 2 for the 16.681.913
who voted for him.
“You con see how absurd this is, !
and yet it is the only concrete pro
posal the company has ever laid before
the union.”
He also said that K. T. Keller, pres
ident of Chrysler, "was elected by a
majority of the stockholders, and yet
he speaks for all of them.”
The purpose of the corporation's
proportional representation plan, Mar
tin wrote, “is to destroy the union and
thus make real collective bargaining
impossible.”
Defending sit-down strikes, he told-'
the Governor that the type of strike I
has been “singularly free of destruc
tion of property, and what is more im
portant, not a single life has been
lost.”
The sit-down, he said, has prevented
the use of “time-worn, strike-breaking
tactics of corporations.”
“If it is a good thing, and we be
lieve it is, for the workers to obey
the law, then it is only just and fair
to expect the corporation also to obey ;
the law,” he said, and urged the Gov
ernor to “give the workers a square
deal and avoid needless human suffer
ing and bloodshed by demanding that
the corporation likewise abide by the
law."
Martin sat in on the conference with
Chrysler representatives this morning.
Martin and others in the U. A. W.
inner circle criticised the eviction
raids, in which several were injured
and scores arrested. None of the
raided places were related to the auto
mobile industry, but Martin said he
regarded them as “a build-up for an
attack on the automobile union sit
downs.”
Gov. Murphy paused in efforts
to bring the Chrysler disputants to
gether to make a public plea yesterday
for temperate attitudes on both sides.
He said pointedly it was "the clear
duty of all to comply” with a circuit
court order for evacuation of the eight
Chrysler factories held by some 6,000
strikers.
He called for “an intelligent obedi
ence to duly constituted authority,”
but warned against “blind adherence
to a legalistic philosophy.”
The Governor addressed a Catholic
men’s group, then resumed his joint
study of the Chrysler deadlock with
James F. Dewey, Federal labor con
ciliator.
Miss Perkins Busy.
Efforts to bring peace in that dis
pute were pushed in New York and
Washington, also. Secretary of Labor
Perkins was in New York, attempt
ing to bring together Walter P. Chrys
ler and John L. Lewis, head of the
C. I. O. She talked to both indi
vidually, and also with Murphy and
Dewey and her aides in Washington.
What the scope of a “general strike”
of the U. A. W. in tne city might
be w»as undetermined. Martin said,
however, that General Motors workers,
because of a recent final agreement
in that extended controversy, would
stage a brief walkout as a "demonstra
tion.”
The city has about 2,200 plants re
lated to the auto industry, and they
employ, by conservative estimate, some
200,000 persons.
U. A. W. leaders claim they could
completely tie up the industry in
Detroit.
Th«? evictions which led to Martin’s
"general strike” threats were the first
in Detroit’s recent strike history.
Sheriff’s deputies arrested 60 strikers
who held the Newton Peking Co.
plant in defiance of a court order.
There was no resistance.
Commissioner Pickert's men later
ejected 150 women who had held a
cigar factory for a month. The women
fought back. Injuries resulted when
a crowd of onlookers and sympathizers
joined the melee.
Mayor Max A. Templeton of Lans
ing, Mich., won an agreement from
opposing leaders in the Reo Motor Car
Co. strike to meet today to talk over j
their differences.
Company heads and union leaders J
remained as far apart as ever in the
Hudson Motor Car Co. strike, which
left 10,000 idle in Detroit.
Other Labor Developments.
On other labor fronts leaders of
Chicago's striking taxicab drivers
sought to bring the 18-day-old dead
lock into conference. Joseph Jacobs,
attorney for the Midwest Taxi Driv
ers’ Union, charged officials of the
Yellow: Cab and Checker Cab com
panies with “breach of faith in refus
ing to negotiate.”
Five F. W. Woolw'orth stores in
Akron, Ohio, were picketed. Seven
strikes have affected some 21,700
workers in the city.
A union organizer asserted inter
urban and electric power service at
Anderson, Ind., would not be re- j
sumed until union demands are met.

Between F and G N.W,
New York Artist Given First
Prize for “Cape Cod
Afternoon.”
A colorful painting of a New Eng
land farm house, entitled “Cape Cod
Afternoon,” today won for its crea
tor, Edward Uppper, prominent New
York artist, the $2,000 Clark first
prize and Corcoran gold medal award
ed in connection with the Fifteenth
Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary
American Oil Paintings, which opens
next Sunday at the Corcoran Gallery
of Art.
Guy Pene du Bois, also of New York,
won the second Clark prize of $1,500
and the Corcoran silver medal for his
“Meditation,” a study of a seated
semi-nude figure of a woman.
Third Clark prize of $1,000 and the
Corcoran bronze medal were awarded
to Francis Speight, former student of
the Corcoran School of Art, and now
of New Hope, Pa., for a landscape
bearing the title, “Boxholder No. 27.”
It shows a woman at a rural mail box
at a narrow country cross-roads, with a
group of farm buildings as a back
ground.
The fourth Clark prize of $500 and
the Corcoran certificate of honorable
mention went to Bernard Keyes of
Boston, Mass., for his portrait work,
“Snakey,” showing a bartender of
that nickname.
Distinguished Jury.
The prize-winning pictures were
chosen by a distinguished jury of
artists, headed by William J. Glackens
of New York. The jury made the
selection from 4G1 paintings it had
adjudged worthy of inclusion in the
Corcoran Gallery's biennial show-, al
ways an outstanding American art
event. Other members of the jury
were John Steuart Curry of Madison,
Wis.; Daniel Garber of Lumberville,
Pa.; Richard Lahey of this city, and
William M. Paxton of Boston, Mass.
The $5,000 in cash prizes are pro
vided from income derived from a
trust fund set up by the late Senator
W. A. Clark of Montana for the pur
pose of perpetuating the "W. A. Clark
prize awards." Expense of organizing
the biennial exhibitions is met with
income from a trust fund donated ]
by Senator Clark’s w idow. Excess in
come from both funds is available
for the purchase of works of art by
American artists for the permanent
collection of the gallery.
Well-Known Exhibitor.
Hopper is well known in art exhibi
tion circles, where he has w'on a num
ber of prizes. He has received, among
other awards, the Logan prize at the
Art Institute of Chicago in 1923 and
the Temple gold medal at the Penn
sylvania Academy of the Fine Arts,
Philadelphia, in 1935. His paintings
are owned by most of the important
museums in this country, including the
i Metropolitan Museum, W’hitney Mu
seum and Museum of Modern Art of
New York City, the Brooklyn Museum,
the Art Institute of Chicago, the Mu
seum of Fine Arts in Boston and the
Phillips Memorial Gallery here.
Bon in Nyaek. N. Y., in 1882, Hop
per studied in his native State under
Robert Henri, Kenneth Hayes Miller
and William M. Chase. Later he
worked independently in Europe. He
now resides at 3 Washington square,
north, New York City.
Hopper is regarded as a vigorous
and eminently native painter and is
best known for his paintings of "the
American scene.” His "Cape Cod
Afternoon" is characteristic of his
work. He is a quiet, retiring man
and his work has been described as
"broadly and simply done—strong,
forceful and intensely realistic." He

frequently paints landscapes, with
buildings in strong sunlight, as in the
case of his prize-winning picture.
Du Bois of French Parentage,
Du Bois, born in Brooklyn, N. Y.,
of French parentage in 1884, studied,
like Hopper, under Henri and Chase
in New York and also under Frank
Vincent Du Mond. He lives in the
Studio Building at Washington
square, where Hopper also resides.
A former newspaper reporter, Du
Bois is widely known not only as an
artist but as a journalistic art critic.
Many of his paintings are satirical
thrusts at contemporary life. Ha was
awarded the Harris silver medal and
$500 at the Art Institute of Chicago
in 1930. His work is displayed in
the Metropolitan Museum in New
York, the Phillips Memorial Gallery
here and in other collections. "Medi
tation” is typical of the rich and vivid
color work found in his paintings.
Speight, 40-year-old native of Wind
sor, N. C., is well known in this city.
In addition to attending the Corcoran
School of Art, he won first prize for
landscape in the Society of Wash
ington Artists’ exhibition at the Cor
coran Gallery in 1929. He also studied
at the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he
is now an instructor. He has won
a number of other art awrrds.
Specializing in landscapes, Speight’s
work may be seen at the Metropolitan
Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts, the Art Gallery of
Toronto, Canada, and .lsewhere.
Exhibiting for First Time.
Keyes, one of the younger American
artists, is exhibiting in the Corcoran
Biennial Exhibition for the first time.
His bartender picture, a tne char
acterization, quickly caught the at
tention of the jury. Awarded a travel
ing scholarship by the Museum of
Fine Arts School of Boston, Keyes
spent some time in Paris and upon
his return was made instructor in the
Museum School. He later resigned
to devote himself to his ow painting.
The 461 paintings chosen by the
| jury from more than 2.000 entries are
by 405 artists in 28 States, the District
of Columbia and the Virgin Islands.
The jury supervised the hanging of
the pictures in 14 exhibition galleries.
The display will be the largest in the
history of the "biennials” and will be
the most representative showing of
professional work by American artists
held anywhere in the United States.
There were 33 fewer pictures in the
1935 show, according to C. Powell
Minnigerode, director of the gallery.
There will be an opening private
view of the exhibition next Saturday
night. The public will be admitted
Paste- Sunday and the show will con
tinue through May 9.

Friends Say S. E. C. Head
Was Not Committing
Self on Sit-Downs.
The tempest created by the Satur
day night speech of James M. Landis,
chairman of the Securities and Ex
change Commission, is based appar
ently on a variety of interpretations
placed on the point which Landis was
making before the Eastern Law Stu
dents’ Conference at Catholic Univer
sity, it was said today.
Some of those commenting on the
speech have been inclined to regard it
as some kind of administration pro
nouncement on the current sit-down
strikes. Landis’ friends have said a
close reading of the speech indicates
a discussion of the history of labor
relations in this country was merely
an example used to illustrate the type
of problem which will concern the
young lawyers in their future practice
of law.
They point out that Landis did not
use the words “sit-down strike.” but
referred to them as "of doubtful legal
justification” at the present time and
attempted to project into the future
the possible course of change in the
legal viewpoint regarding them.
j Landis, it was recalled, traced a re
I lationship between the sit-down—
! which he termed “occupany f indus
trial premises to prevent protection”—
and the lockout, but added that the
lockout involved no question of prop
erty rights, which furnish the chief
\ question in regard to the sit-down,
i The Catholic University address was
j meant to be, it was said, a discussion
of Landis’ favorite public talking point
j —the changing social and economic
| concept and the manner in which the
| law and the lawyer of the future might
i meet the change. In recent weeks
